The following movie shows the first-look of the newly eXSplitBar
component:

The Exontrol's eXSplitBar component, helps you to automatically resizes the left/right or top/bottom components, while user drags the split bar to a new position. The eXSplitBar control provides automatic resizing /positioning of controls/windows on your form/dialog/window. When the Mode property is set to exSplitBarHorz, the control resizes any controls that lie above or below it, and when the Mode is set to exSplitBarVert, it resizes controls that lie to its left or right. The difference between the eXSplitBar control and other components of the same type, is that the eXSplitBar control works for any programming environments such as Microsoft Office ( Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word ), Visual Basic, Visual Fox Pro, /NET Framework, Delphi, C++, and more. As usual, there are no dependencies to MFC, VB, VCL, or anything else.

*Added: The expression properties support `dpi`, `dpix` and `dpiy` constants that returns the current DPI setting on x/y scale. For instance, the "value * dpi" returns the value if the DPI setting is 100%, or value * 1.5 in case, the DPI setting is 150%
*Added: The Handle parameter of Images method can be a string that specifies the ICO file to be loaded. The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, such that they may be scaled appropriately. For instance,
Images("e:\working\sync.ico") method adds the sync.ico file to the control's Images collection.
*Added: The number parameter of the Item.ShowPopupOffset property, can be followed by a D character which indicates that the coordinate is giving in dots, rather than pixels, and depends on the current DPI settings. For instance, ShowPopupOffset = "12D,12D", indicates that the inner popup is moved by 18,18 pixels if the DPI settings is 150%, while if DPI settings is 100% the popup is moved by 12,12 pixels, relative to its current position. The numberD converted in pixels is number * DPI / 100.

The following movie shows the first look of newly eXTab/NET component::

The Exontrol ExTab component is a SKIN based TAB control. A
TAB control is analogous to the dividers in a notebook or the labels in a file cabinet. By using a tab control, an application can define multiple pages for the same area of a form or dialog box. Each page consists of a certain type of information or a group of controls that the application displays when the user selects the corresponding tab. The Exontrol ExTab
component provides WYSIWYG visual appearance editor that helps you to change
the TAB's visual appearance. Also, you can you the ExETB
tool to provide ETB files. Generally, the ETB is a set of UI elements that are built as a tree where each element is anchored to its parent element. The ETB object includes two inner objects, Focus and Normal, that defines the visual aspect of the focused / normal page of a TAB control.

You can download the beta version here, or run the

The eXRadialMenu ( radial or pie menu) component is similar to the Microsoft's OneNote radial menu with ability to customize the appearance and functionality. The component is designed using tree structure so an item can hold none or more children, and so any item can be browsed, and show its children around it. An item can display a collection of child items, as well as a radial slider, or any other gauge / knob control. The eXRadialMenu is written from scratch, and does not depend on Windows 7, 8, 10 and so requires no dependencies to any other third party library. Features include: built-in radial slider, ability to display/edit data using the
eXGauge component, Picture/Image support, built-in HTML support, ToolTip support, and more. Available as: COM/ActiveX, /NET Assembly, /WPF Component, ANSI or UNICODE, 32 or 64-bit

only, no parent or child, if no match
*Added: The FilterInclude property on
exMatchingItemsOnly, specifies that the control displays the items that match the filter so no parent or child is displayed if no match. For instance, if your control displays a hierarchy the parent or child items are not included, if they do not match the filter. You can use the TreeColumnIndex property on -1 or Indent property on 0, to display no +/- buttons or hierarchy lines.
*Added: Items.VisibleItemCount property returns negative value, if filtering is applied on the control ( the control has a filter applied ). The negative value represents a formula of -( count + 1 ), where count indicates the number of matching items. For instance, if the Items.VisibleItemCount property returns -1, the count of matching items is 0, if -2, 1 matching item, if -3, 2 matching items, and so on.*Fixed: Sometimes, the selection is lost, once the mouse is released during scrolling, while the user selects several cells by dragging ( FullRowSelect property )

The following movie shows the first look of newly eXTreeCube component:

The eXTreeCube library provides fisheye representation / cube map texturing of different components such as calendar, multiple - columns tree view and so on. Fish-eye lenses magnify the center of the field of view, while the scale being reduced towards the edge. Cube map texturing is a form of environment texture mapping that uses a viewing direction (3D vector) to map into a view plane the six 2D textures arranged like the faces of a cube. You have unlimited options to show any HTML text, images, colors, EBNs, patterns, frames anywhere on any face of the cube. The eXTreeCube component lets the user changes its visual appearance using skins, each one providing an additional visual experience that enhances viewing pleasure. As usual, there are no dependencies to MFC, VB, VCL, and of course, no Open GL required.

*Added: Panel.BackgroundExt property indicates additional colors, text, patterns, images that can be displayed on the panel's background using the EBN string format. For instance, Panel.BackgroundExt = "bottom[4,back=RGB(0,0,0)],top[4,back=RGB(0,0,0)]" draws a 4-pixels wide line aligned to the top and bottom sides of the panel. The Panel.BackgroundExt = "bottom[10%+12,back=RGB(255,0,0),text=`<img>alert</img><b>Alert!`,align=0x11]" displays the alert picture and the Alert! caption as bold, on the RED background, on the bottom portion of the panel (10%+12 pixels-wide from the object's client area).
*Added: Panel.BackgroundExtValue(Index,Property) property gets or sets a value that indicates the value of giving property for the object with indicated index. This property has effect only if the BackgroundExt property is set. The BackgroundExtValue property allows you to change programmatically, the properties of the parts that composes the EBN object. For instance, BackgroundExtValue(0,exFrameColorExt) = RGB(255,0,0) draws a red frame around the root part of the object. For instance, you can use this property to change properties ( like colors ) of the EBN without having to assign a new EBN string format
*Tip: The EBN is a set of UI elements that are built as a tree where each element is anchored to its parent element. The BackgroundExtValue property can change properties like: exBackColorExt (element's background color, including other EBN objects), exClientExt (position/size of the element), exAnchorExt (element's alignment relative to its parent), exTextExt (associates a HTML text on the element), exTextExtWordWrap (word wrapping of the elements text), exTextExtAlignment (alignment of the element's text), exPatternExt (pattern to be shown on the element), exPatternColorExt ( color of the pattern on the element ), exFrameColorExt (color to show the border-frame on the element), exFrameThickExt (shows a thick-frame around the element), exUserDataExt (associates an extra-data with the element)

Using frames you can highlight any node, or group
of nodes, with a different border, pattern, EBN,
solid back color, and so on. You can specify to highlight the entire node,
which includes all child, group and assistant nodes, child node only,
assistant node, and so on. For instance, Frames.Add("root(child)") draws a border around all child nodes of the root node, while the
Frames.Add("root(assistant)") draws a border around all assistant nodes of the root node.

Conditional formatting quickly highlights important information in a pivot table. In other words, it allows you to highlight values in the chart, based on the expression. For instance,
"len(value) != 0" marks all cells that displays a value, while
"( dbl(value) != 0 ) ? (value > 0) : 0" highlights positive numbers. Using Conditional formatting you can apply or change font attributes, background/foreground colors using solid or
EBN technology, decorative text as outlined, shadow or gradient. Previously, the
eXPivot allows highlight the entire column/row no matter of what values it displays. The
conditional-expression contains a lot of built-in functions that makes the Conditional formatting very
customizable.
